A root canal refers to the removal of the nerve and pulp tissue, which is the innermost layer of the tooth. The roots of the tooth are not removed which is common misconception when people think of a root canal.

Decay which causes the tooth to become infected, and trauma which causes the nerve to dye, are the two primary reasons why the nerve and pulp tissue may need to be removed says Dr. Azimi. Until a root canal is performed, the tooth will not heal!

Once Dr. Azimi has performed the root canal procedure and the infection is removed, the inside of the tooth is sterilized and sealed. A filling is placed in the tooth until a dental crown is placed over the tooth.

"Dr. Azimi’s dental veneers filled the gaps in my top teeth which only seemed to be growing. The only other alternative was one year of braces, which I did not want to do. Getting these veneers was the best decision ever for my smile, and his comfortable and modern office made the experience even easier!"
